Meet the Founder

This is Stillwater.

I'm Lisa Popp. I've spent more than three decades designing in Los Angeles

I was raised in Malibu and never really left. My days are split between the beach and the canyons, and that contrast still shapes everything I create.

Stillwater was born where those worlds meet: the freedom of the California coast and the energy of Los Angeles. Natural and a little rugged. Refined without feeling precious. Relaxed, but always intentional.

We've been designing and making Stillwater in Los Angeles since 2014, working with local patternmakers, cutters, sewers, and production partners to create clothes that become your favorites. The ones you build your daily uniform around.

Thank you for being here.

Designed, Made & Shipped from Los Angeles

What began as a small collection of everyday favorites has grown into an independent women's clothing brand known for effortless dressing, natural fabrics, and timeless California style. More than a decade later, we're still doing what we've always loved: designing beautiful clothes women actually want to wear.

Every Stillwater collection is designed in our Los Angeles studio and produced locally with a network of trusted patternmakers, cutters, sewers, and manufacturing partners we've worked alongside for years. Keeping production close allows us to stay involved in every step of the process, produce in smaller batches, and support the community that has helped build this brand. Every order is packed and shipped from our Los Angeles warehouse.
